Couldn't you just let svn use the svn:eol-style to get the end-of-line characters right on files that are specifically for unix (for example the configure script mentioned in the bug report) in all packages? I checked in svn, and the configure script does have its svn:eol-style set properly to LF.
I set svn:eol-style for shell scripts in 1.38. This issue had come up several times and everyone seemed to think it was a good idea.

That wouldn't solve the problem for environments/toolsets that can use the configure, Makefiles, etc. in CRLF form. In particular it would cause grief for MinGW and Cygwin/CRLF users (I'm one of those).
How does it cause grief?
If you try to run an LF shell script on either of those it gives errors, or does nothing, because it looks like a single long line to them. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail
